Russia is imposing fuel rationing as part of its latest economic measures, requiring drivers to wait in long lines to purchase gasoline. The policy reverses to a Soviet-era system where fuel distribution was tightly controlled. Motorists face extended delays at pumps, with some stations operating under strict time limits. The move comes amid broader economic pressures, forcing citizens to adapt to a less convenient but state-mandated approach to fuel access.
Would you rather pay more to fill your tank, or wait an hour or more to buy gas? Russia has opted for the latter, a throwback to Soviet-era ways.
